INTERMITTENT CURING OF CONCRETE

THIS IS A PROGRESS REPORT OF EXPERIMENTS DESIGNED TO SHOW THE EFFECT UPON CONCRETE, FROM THE STANDPOINT OF CURING, OF ALTERNATE WETTING AND DRYING. THE DATA APPEAR TO INDICATE THAT THE AMOUNT OF MIXING WATER RETAINED IN THE CONCRETE DURING THE CURING PERIOD IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CURING, AND THAT SATISFACTORY CURING MAY BE OBTAINED IN HUMID AREAS WITH A COMPARATIVELY SHORT INITIAL WET CURING PERIOD. /AUTHOR/
